SUNNYVALE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 14, 2007—
Network Appliance, Inc. (NASDAQ:
NTAP), a leading provider of
storage and data management solutions, today announced certification
of its Data ONTAP(R) 7G operating system by UGS(R) PLM Software, a
division of Siemens(R) Automation and Drives (A&D) and a leading
global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and
services, for integration with UGS Teamcenter(R) Engineering. NetApp
is the first network storage vendor to earn this specific
certification from UGS PLM Software, highlighting NetApp leadership
in storage for mechanical design applications. Furthermore, UGS PLM
Software customers can deploy NetApp Data ONTAP in their Teamcenter
Engineering environments, knowing that it will perform and scale to at
least 2,000 concurrent users, while meeting stringent UGS PLM Software
requirements.

With over three million licenses worldwide, UGS Teamcenter
software has been the most widely used solution for product lifecycle
management for several years. UGS Teamcenter solutions link users with
secure global access to a single source of product knowledge, enabling
process excellence throughout the lifecycle. Teamcenter provides
world-class product data management capabilities to leading
manufacturing organizations, and certification for such an
extraordinary system demands an equally impressive storage solution.
Important factors in the certification were the ability of Data ONTAP
to deliver consistent peak performance, enable collaborative
development environments, and provide high availability for technical
applications across both NFS and CIFS protocols.

"UGS PLM Software has worked closely with NetApp for a long time,
and our list of joint customers is extensive," said Jim Phelan of UGS.
"Customer success is at the forefront of UGS PLM Software's mission,
and supporting networked storage from NetApp helps us achieve that
success. It is important to us that we empower our customers to deploy
Teamcenter Engineering on NetApp with the confidence that comes from
certifying that the combination will work, provide peak performance,
and scale."

"NetApp is honored to be the only storage vendor certified for
Teamcenter Engineering," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of
Solutions Marketing at NetApp. "NetApp and UGS PLM Software share the
same high standards for data storage and security, and we are pleased
that more customers than ever will be able to take advantage of the
NetApp ability to streamline backup, easily manage data across remote
development sites, and accelerate time to innovation, all of which are
vitally important in the competitive world of mechanical design."
